When we lived in southern NH, those from south of the state border were often considered flatlanders. Now in central NH, flatlanders may include those from southern NH and south. I suppose that up in Woodstock flatlanders include may those in central NH and south especially those that once moved here like us.

But I tend to believe that behavior is the real issue. If you are comfortable splitting at least some wood and running a wood stove, hammering at least a few nails, dealing easily with a foot of snow, operating at least a small chain saw efficiently, know which side of the road is the south side so you don't reply "is that the right or left side", you don't stop and gawk if there is a deer or a moose on the side of the road, and so on, then you are on the way to avoiding a flatlander label.
